How glass partitions influence privacy in workspaces

Glass partitions and privacy: brightness and privacy in the office

We have been working for many years with architects and interior designers who consider glass partitions one of the ideal solutions to increase the brightness and design of work spaces. However, according to a study by the Gensler Research Institute, 77% of employees believe that privacy, both acoustically and visually, is crucial to maintaining high productivity. How can this need be met if architecture favours open and bright environments? The answer lies in modern glass partitions.

The influence of glass partitions on privacy

Modern glass partitions have reached an unprecedented level of efficiency. The latest generation of laminated glass, combined with specific films and treatments, guarantee sound insulation of up to 46 dB, comparable to that of a traditional plasterboard wall. Structural glass walls such as INWALL represent excellence in this area, thanks to their monolithic structure that eliminates the need for vertical profiles between the panes. This technical solution not only maximises transparency and aesthetic cleanliness, but also guarantees superior acoustic performance thanks to the special transparent gaskets that seal the glass-glass joints. With thicknesses ranging from 6 to 12 mm for single-glazing and double-glazing options, INWALL partitions provide both the acoustic insulation needed for privacy and the structural strength required in the most demanding professional environments.

Glass partition walls and privacy: all solutions

For visual privacy there are also several customisable options, such as: 

• Frosted glass with different gradations of opacity
• Visually controlled decorative films
• Intelligent shading systems
• Customised patterns and screen prints
• High-performance surface treatments

The influence of glass partitions on privacy is now more positive than ever, thanks to modern technologies that allow transparency and privacy to be reconciled.
